Please Welcome Affordable Hybrid!

We are extremely excited to welcome one our favorite bands to the Flannel Family!

So without further ado, please welcome Affordable Hybrid! If you are unfamiliar with the band, allow us to enlighten you a little. Affordable Hybrid are a 4-piece Swedish post-punk band from Vänersborg. They released their first album "The Snake Was a Mistake" in 2007 via Tell Me That You Love Me and Carcrash Records and in 2009, they released "No Area, No Criminals" on Black Star Foundation. We highly recommend you check out both albums when you have a moment. We will be releasing a new 7" this coming year. This will be the band's first released material since 2009 and we couldn't be more honored to have the privilege of working with them! So, check them out and get stoked!

Kittyhawk/Cherry Cola Champions | /175 Black | Flannel Gurl 

I picked up this split from Cherry Cola Champions when they played at The Church of Three Cats, a house venue here in Lansing, MI. If I’m at a DIY show and a band has a 7″ for sale, I will typically buy it. On top of that, I was familiar with Kittyhawk from knowing some of the people in the band (though I hadn’t listened to them at all up to this point). 

Kittyhawk’s side of the split contains three songs, albeit the second song is a short little interlude of sorts. It starts off with a song called “The Green”. I think that this is my favorite song on the record. The vocals float nicely over the instrumentation and help maintain a sense of calm. “The Rot” comes next and is a stripped down song with only organ and vocals. I wish that they would’ve fleshed it out more as it’s a really nice sounding progression. “The Red” finishes off their side. Again, the instrumentation is kind of busy, while the vocals keep it simple. I think the vocals are my favorite part of these songs 

Cherry Cola Champions offer up the tracks “Noise” and “Static” for their side. When I saw them live, they were a two piece. Their guitarist ABY’d his guitar to have some bass in there. I here some low notes on this and I wonder if that’s how he does it on recordings or if he plays actual bass. “Noise” is a quick track that ends with some noise (no surprise) that transitions into “Static”. I haven’t listened to this split since around the time I got it, but I actually remember them playing this song and it being the one that really stood out to me. Most of the songs is the one angular guitar riff repeated (or at least the chord progression for it) but they kind of play off of it and change things up. The vocals are almost talk-ish, but there’s still a little bit of melody being sung. It’s a cool song.

You can pick up this split from Flannel Gurl in their webstore: http://flannelgurl.bigcartel.com/product/kittyhawk-cherry-cola-champions-split-7

Introducing: Estates

Words: Jordan Gorsuch

Estates are: Something deceptively out of reach, harsh, emotional, the party, the after-party, being alone, the smell of stale cigarettes, clear, esoteric, loving one’s own sadness…and so much more.
